The left wants to destroy America. Let’s destroy them first.


Exactly! And Donald Trump understands that and he is doing a good job despite the Globalists and the many worthless Republicans.

I wonder if the WaPo will be required to file FEC campaign contribution filings for the Trump 2020 campaign if they keep publishing articles like this; what a way to inspire the people to keep Trump in office if all those who tirelessly work to undermine the Republic and the constitution that we live under are heading towards retirement!

The day just keeps getting better and better.

If Kennedy and Ginsberg go life improves in this country.

I think it’s Stephen Breyer who has been the big advocate for international law.

That would be a game where you pick the international law that supports your preferred outcome.

Many countries ban abortion or make it extremely difficult. Would the “international law” advocates on the SCOTUS be willing to consider those legal traditions?

It is very likely that we will have a majority of textualist/originalists for the first time in 70 years.

It would be a revolution.

I should have put a “barf bag” warning with this when I posted it, but any editorial from WAPO implies a barf bag.

Not a chance. The whole idea of considering international law, is to give the justices a wider range of precedents so that they can pick and choose and find something to support their preferences and opinions.

I was in supreme terror during 0bamas reign, especially the first two years. I am enjoying the leftists pinkos being in panic mode. I hope all their nightmares come true.

The Dims were so arrogant and certain about Hillary winning, they neglected to knock off corpse lady when they still had the chance.

And don't think for a minute that they aren't still muttering about it.

I hear the lamentations of their women.

That is best in life.

“Conservatives have done a horrible job of picking conservatives.”

You ain’t kidding. The supreme court should have been heavily conservative for decades.

Yeah, I bet they thought just that way.

Dems will block any appointments though. Changing to a majority confirmation would not be good either.Hope we muddle through!
At least we won’t have Hillary judges.

Personally I hope it’s just that - a rumor. Just to agitate them and unnerve them and make them sweat. Then deny the rumor as “without merit”. A couple of month later do it again. I savor their fear!
